Climate Week Webinar 2: Educating Future Climate Leaders—The Landscape of Climate Education in New York City

Because more young people are growing up on the front lines of a changing climate, it is critical they receive a strong environmental education to build a sense of the natural world, and to build develop awareness and agency to take action. Join us for a conversation with climate educators in New York City to discuss the current landscape of climate education, the challenges to implementing the curriculum, and policy recommendations to mandate a climate curriculum into all NYC schools.
